Songs of the Week 289: October 18 – October 24

#5. Jim-E Stack Feat. Dijon – Sweet Summer Sweat

Some quirky, catchy pop starts us off this week, courtesy of Dijon & Jim-E Stack. Jim-E Stack’s sound reminds me a bit of Dev Hynes


#4. St. Francis Hotel Feat. Portugal. The Man – Milkshare (Two Another Remix)

https://soundcloud.com/st-francis-hotel // https://soundcloud.com/twoanother

I am inferring that Two Another are the remixers of this here track, but it’s not totally clear from soundcloud. Nevertheless, the original features Portgul. The Man, so i think it’s a fair guess. Both are great (songs and bands), but the remix brings about a bit more glam that’ll get you grooving.


#3. Anderson .Paak – Jewelz

If Anderson .Paak and Bruno Mars had a lovechild, and then we put some tweaked auto-tune over the vocals, we’d have this track.


#2. Josh Fudge – Second Date

https://soundcloud.com/joshua-fudge-103792925

Back to back weeks from my man Josh Fudge. Another track that just warms the soul.


#1. Soda State – Midnight

And now, we dance.

Songs of the Week 278: August 2 – August 8

#5. Two Another Feat. Arno Faraji – Just A Phase

https://soundcloud.com/twoanother

Two Another are starting to take over my Spotify. Seem that with each passing week they drop another track that manages to make the cut. Arno Faraji’s vocals are pretty slick here as well.


#4. Gashi – Lies

https://soundcloud.com/g4shi

Easily my favorite track from the recently released 1984. Dark and brooding.


#3. Curren$y – Coast 2 Coast

https://soundcloud.com/currensy

At this point I don’t even know if I need to write words anymore about this dude. He releases an album seemingly every week, and despite some of it sounding tired and worn our there is almost always at least one track that manages to make it thru the cut and get some major air time on my playlist.


#2. Balu Brigada – Part Time

https://soundcloud.com/balu-brigada

Another feel good track from the aptly titled Feel Good Mixtape. Got a few more coming from these boys.


#1. Brasstracks Feat. Col3trane – Missed Your Call

https://soundcloud.com/brasstracks

The lads known for infusing their tracks with brass sounds, they benefit here from some brilliant vocals from Col3trane, resulting in an up-beat summer track.
